Good place to work
Quality, Patient Safety & Commissioning Officer (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 22 October 2021
I worked at HEE in London for almost 20 years. I enjoyed my time there and only left because I moved out of London and did not want to travel almost 2 hours each way to work every day. The WFH choice was not available to my grade at the time and felt I needed to concentrate on my young daughter and would not have been able to do this due to the added travel time. The working environment is very supportive and development is widely encouraged. My managers were great and very approachable. I made some great lifelong friends there too.
Pros
Staff benefits (cycle to work scheme)
Cons
Needed some more flexibility for grade 5 and below

Amazing team and culture
Regional communications manager (Current Employee) - North West - 3 June 2021
The team I work in is simply amazing. Regardless of position everyone comes together and supports each other. There is always someone willing to help out if you have a problem, the supportive culture is unlike anywhere else I’ve worked. They take the values to heart and embody them on a daily basis.
Pros
Great team, fantastic work/life balance, knowledge sharing. I could go on
Cons
None

Awesome IF you have a good manager
Administrator (Current Employee) - Midlands and East - 10 February 2021
It is public sector so salary could be better but is contemporary with other public sector organisations. The culture is good overall but alot comes down to whether or not you have a good manager as so much is down to their discretion. There are loads of training opportunities but getting permission for secondments is hard and there are very few band 6 roles compared to band 5s so most people leave after then. In COVID our jobs are secure and they are promoting wellbeing but disabilities are poorly supported and mental health is not even discussed.
Pros
Flexible Working.
Cons
The clinical staff think they are "better" than the admin staff, You are screwed if you have a bad manager.

Admin Role
Administrator (Former Employee) - Sheffield, South Yorkshire - 25 November 2019
Unorganised and was going through change when I started. There was not enough work once I started and on my first day

Treat people unfairly.

Bullying culture, high stress levels
Administrator (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 11 November 2019
Management pass the buck of responsibility when they do not know the answer to things,
Bullying is the order of the day,
Being stressed will happen daily
Job starts of well, then stress gets to you
Unless you are with a certain crowd, promotion is impossible,
On the other hand, it has been known for someone to interview for a job 4 times before they get it.

If you must
Administrator (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 12 February 2019
The bullying culture is too prevelant. There is a lot of favouritism and nepotism all the way to management. You must be strong willed to work here. There is also a hierarchy culture where the senior management doesn’t appreciate the work done by the staff under them.
Cons
Flexi workinf

No flexibility
Assessment Administrator (Former Employee) - Birmingham, West Midlands - 12 February 2019
I spent 4 months working for the Assessments team as a part time administrator.
There is low morale amongst the team, as some staff were directed into the role following a structure redesign so didn't really want to be there.
The working hours and travel were not made clear, even though I specified the hours I was limited to at interview and at the point of job offer. The hours were revealed during week 2 of being in the role. I had to find another job, so HEE wasted my time and their own as they had to re-recruit to the vacancy I left behind.
No career progression, as HEE staff are not privy to NHS internal job opportunities.
Unfriendly atmosphere within the team.
Pros
Met some lovely colleagues
Cons
Hours are subject to change, and require someone who can be flexible

Pros
Good working practices
Cons
Sometimes lots of demanding work

Great fun place to work
Faculty Suport Administrator (Current Employee) - Leicester, Leicestershire - 9 June 2018
Health Education England is a great place to work. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful.
I have worked here for four months and have enjoyed my experience very much. No day is the same and I enjoy the variety of tasks that I am asked to do.
I have learnt to use E-portfolio and intrepid systems but I still have so much to learn in these systems.
The managers are great to work for and very approachable and open to new ideas and suggestions.
Pros
Friendly staff
Cons
Alot of the staff work from home so can't always get an answer right away

Continuous change taking its toll
Manager (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 17 May 2018
During my years at HEE I was always satisfied with management, the culture and opportunities to develop and progress. Constant and sometimes ill thought out change have unfortunately taken their toll on the culture within the organisation, making it a less happy place to be and often very challenging environment.

A rewarding place to work
Team Member (Former Employee) - Nottingham - 28 February 2018
I really enjoyed working at HEE. The work was rewarding and challenging and there was a supportive environment but that could be different within different teams. The main down side was the constant organisational restructuring.
